Jamestown (CSi) The Jamestown Public School Board has agreed to changes with graduation requirements.

Also approved was modifications to course offerings.

Three recommendations were approved from Jamestown High School Principal Bill Nold.

Those include replacing the “Word processing” course with a “computer applications” course as the required computer-technology course for graduation.

Another approved recommendation was the addition of an 18-week multimedia elective course in the business-technology department that would use Adobe Creative Cloud, which would give students experience in graphic design, audio and video editing, digital animation and basic multimedia applications.

The third recommendation was to make the yearbook class a year-long elective that would take place during the school day rather than after school as it does now.

Jamestown High School Assistant Principal, John Conway reported on the drug court program a partnership between Stutsman and Barnes counties.
